Owner-Developer Closes Audit and Surety Package Same-Day Across $600M Portfolio

A national owner-developer with $600M of active construction across 22 projects was burning three weeks of operating time whenever surety or audit asked for an evidence package. Compliance data lived across eight project-management systems, three ERPs, and a shared drive. Bonding capacity was under review after two consecutive audits surfaced coverage gaps the developer could not reconstruct on its own.

Subcontractor Audit took over as the money layer across the portfolio. All contracts, commitments, pay-app approvals, waivers, compliance documents, and disbursements were unified on a single auditable ledger. Evidence packages for any project, any draw, any date range became a one-click export.

The operating team produced quarterly evidence bundles to surety automatically. Internal audit cycles moved from three-week fire drills to scheduled reviews running on live data.
